The Sandy Hook episode was related by Joshua DuBois in his new book, "The President's Devotional" released on 10-22-13.

From book's description on amazon...

"President Obama's "Pastor-in-Chief" (TIME Magazine) and longtime spiritual advisor, Joshua DuBois led the White House faith-based initiative during Obama's first term, and served with the President for years before that. He is one of our country's top leaders, speakers and writers on how to live out faith and values, and strengthen our communities, in an increasingly busy world...."

"Lest there be any more confusion, we note here that the National Report is a web site that publishes outrageous fictional stories such as "IRS Plans to Target Leprechauns Next," "Boy Scouts Announce Boobs Merit Badge," and "New CDC Study Indicates Pets of Gay Couples Worse at Sports, Better at Fashion Than Pets of Straight Couples." The National Report's (since removed) disclaimer page notes that: National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental."

So we found out that there are about 55 different government agencies and civilian contractors who worked on the website, and everyone puts the blame on someone else but not them. The whole gist of the problem is this: "What we have here is a failure to communicate!" With that many people and/or companies working on 1 site, something was bound to go wrong and this is costing taxpayers a whole bunch of money.

Maybe we should instead just skip the software and talk about how Minot is in a very bad situation with feezeup occurring with fields saturated and the dikes are in bad shape and not much of anything really seems to be getting done to fix anything that protects Minot. Most of the work seems to have been done to encourage as many as possible to rebuild the floodplain. This is really important and possibly something could be done about this, but no let's rant day after day about Obama.

You know it's pretty hard to do much about the website nor working. I'm trying to remember the complaints of the MDN about the software to determine Medicaid eligibility in ND taking extra years and many million. Or that the Secretary of State took many years and millions to try and get it so you could fill out forms online. All this while other state agencies had software already that let people fill out forms online. Shall we talk about how long it took for people to get license plates for their cars? I guess not since all those are run by Republicans and it's close enough that the MDN readership actually could possibly do something about it.

There are 46 million people on food stamps, so their names are there in the food stamp files, so the US fed gov agriculture department website should be able to share those files with the health care gov website.

The 46 million receiving food stamps should be automatically enrolled in Obummercare, be subsequently billed and their SNAP benefits applied to their health care costs, which means they won't be receiving any food stamps because it becomes a wash.

In Iraq it was food for oil, in the US, it is food for healthcare. If you don't pay for your healthcare, you don't eat.

Obamacare is the most inhumane act of legislation ever devised by an uncaring Congress that has no compassion for humans whatsoever.
